# Eating And Sex

In an ancient Greek mind, these two were considered almost the
same.

So while not denying the pleasure of eating, it is an applause for
life, things like binge eating were considered like sexual promiscuity.
Alexander the great blamed Persians for using a lot of spices
because of that.

This thinking appears in Thoreau's writings too. Because he read
a lot of ancient Greek stuff.



I totally agree with this. But to add, I think the other way is
also true.

People often justify obscure sexual things with "Nothing unethical"
arguments. Those have some points.

But eating fast foods all the time is simply unhealthy. While it
is not that unethical. Similarily I find it totally unhealthy if
a person maniacally watches adult media that depict sex with insects.
While that might not be unethical. It's simply not good for health.

I made an extreme example. But I think it still holds even if it
gets mild.



So I think eating should be more an ethical subject. We should
think of it seriously.

Sex should be more a health subject. Unhealthy things are not good.
Though it's not that unethical. While I'm nothing against sex
itself. Sex is not a sin and sex with love is divine.

And eating and sex should be linked again.
